Under The Weather Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't I can't take it
Ten lines lines that I've dropped
One more and I swear that I'll stop
Open your eyes to see the fear I'm hiding
Open your eyes to see the hate I'm fighting
Open your eyes to see me laying down the rent
Are you ready to fly
Don't you give up on me
'Cause all you got is me
And boy you better believe
They're after me
I'm afraid afraid of myself
I'm to scared scared to get help
Open your heart to see how hard I'm trying
Open your heart to see that I'm not lying
Open your hear to see me trying to control
All I say and all I know
Take one more step I'll kill myself
I'm not ready for this day
To know god is to know god
Is to know you are god
The lyrics of Under The Weather's song One More Step tell a story of someone who is struggling to escape the cycle of addiction. The first few lines indicate that the person is aware that they have a problem and have attempted to quit before, but have failed. The next lines "Open your eyes to see the fear I'm hiding / Open your eyes to see the hate I'm fighting" reveal that the person is trying to hide their fear and hatred, possibly not wanting to burden those around them with their problems. The lines "In my world of discontent / Are you ready to fly" suggest that the person is stuck in their unhappy life and is wondering if there is a way out.
The next section of the song shifts to address someone directly, asking them not to give up on the struggling person because they are all they have. They warn that others are after them, possibly meaning that they are being targeted by people who want to drag them down or enable their addiction. The lines "I'm afraid afraid of myself / I'm too scared scared to get help" show that they recognize that they have a problem, but they are too fearful to reach out for help in fear of rejection or judgment. The call to "Open your heart to see how hard I'm trying" emphasizes the person's efforts to overcome their addiction and the line "Take one more step I'll kill myself" highlights that they are stuck in a dangerous mindset that they need help to escape.
The song ends with the lines "I'm not ready for this day / To know god is to know god / Is to know you are god" which may suggest that the person is searching for a higher power or purpose to guide them and help them overcome their addiction.
